PARTLY CLOUDY & WARM SUNDAY; NICE START TO THE WEEK… Showers and storms are long gone to our east as a cold front has pushed all of the active weather away. Alabama and northwest Florida are now behind the advancing cold front, meaning we have drier air in place across the region. There are a few lingering clouds streaming in from the northwest, but this afternoon should be dry with little to nothing in the way of rain issues. There may be a shower or two, but I expect 99% of us to be dry into the evening. High temperatures peak around 83-84° this afternoon. Looking ahead, we have a nice start to the week on tap before a more unsettled pattern arrives later this week. Let’s talk about a few details…
NICE MONDAY & TUESDAY… Other than a few areas of fog in the morning hours, no major weather issues are expected on Monday or on Tuesday as an area of high pressure remains in control of our weather pattern. High temperatures will be in the upper-80s and near the 90 degree mark each afternoon. Mostly sunny skies are likely each day.
SHOWERS POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON… The first hint of a changing weather pattern will be on Wednesday when showers and storms have the potential to bubble up in the heat of the day. We’ll call it a 20% chance of rain/storms for now. These storms are similar to the ones we have in the peak heat of summer, popping up seemingly randomly and causing very heavy rain for a very small area. There could be quite a bit of lightning involved in these pop-up storms. Most folks on Wednesday will remain dry.
STORMS POSSIBLE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY… Rain chances will spike in the afternoon and evening hours of Thursday into Friday. The Storm Prediction Center has outlined parts of north Mississippi, far northwestern Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas, and east Texas in their Level 2 (out of 5) severe weather risk valid for Thursday. While our local area is NOT included in that zone as of now, we’ll need to watch this weather system that will be ejecting out of the southern Plains and into the Mid-South region late in the week. There could be a few stronger storms around late Thursday or perhaps on Friday. Too early to know details, but we’ll keep you posted in the RedZone Weather app.
